Help will be appreciated,

They took the permanent PIM out of this ROM update. I'm pretty sure there is no way to get it back unless you can go back to the previous ROM. You would have to have a copy of it somewhere. Sorry.

Permanent PIM is now handled by the iPAQ Backup program (Sprite's Backup)

The update is in German only. Can it be used on the english version Ipaq?

I went back to the download page to get it and it says german. I clicked on the carrot and no oter language came up.

I applied the update to my iPaq 3955; everything went smoothly, but my SD slot is working A LOT more slowly now- movies in Pocket MVP are a bit more jerky, and iPaq backup takes almost a 1/2 hour!?!?!??

I'm thinking about re-applying the rom update, or reverting back to the backup of my old rom. Has anyone else experienced these problems?

Thanks!

batsai, did you do a hard reset after the update?

On the other hand, HP may have pulled it for a reason.

Already installed the ROM update with no problems. Your iPAQ should work a bit faster not slower due to the removal of the Permanent PIM feature, updated drivers, etc. Make sure you follow the update instructions to the letter.
